yesterday I was in the position of having to download the driver software for the logitech unified remote receiver in order to get my mouse working.

While I had a working keyboard, there was no way to move the mouse cursor.

I was wondering where the focus rectangle had gone and now I know. Very timely submission indeed.

In the end, I had to temporarily plug another mouse to actually navigate to the driver download page.

Windows Accessibility to the rescue!

Left ALT+left SHIFT+NUM LOCK: Toggles MouseKeys on and off

"Instead of using the mouse, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard or the numeric keypad to move the mouse."

Right. "Mousekeys to the rescue." The painful, awkward "got it takes forever to move the cursor... Ah! Missed!" rescue.

If Mousekeys is the solution, your problem is pretty bad.

If you have Firefox or Chrome there's an easier way to click links. In FF, hit ' and then start typing the text of a link - press enter once it matches. Chrome is similar but doesn't let you search within only links - but you can use ctrl-f to highlight a link, and press escape then enter.
